I a citizen of the United: States, residing at NewJYork, in the county of NewYork and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful rm rovements in Combined Adding and Type.

January, 1906, I have shown and described a sombinedtype-writer and adding mechanism which comprises, among other lnstrumentahties, meansfor locking the type-writer keylevers against movement when any item to be added has been recorded on the typewriter and to keep the same locked until the actuating-bar of the adding mechanism has been depressed. The means referred to consist substantially of a universal frame, the upper bar ofwhich rests under and presses upward against the type-writer.keylevers in its farthest position in one direction and the lower bar of which, as the numeral-key levers of the type-writerare depressed, retracts the finger of a moving carriage to actuate step by step the adding mechanism. There is a lower end of which moves in a slot in a bar mounted to move transversely across. the machine. When the units figure of the number to be recorded has been written, the

tongue referred to has been moved to the end of the slot and has moved the bar referred to until certain hooks carried by it have engaged w1th the universal frame above relocks the type-writer key-levers againstfur- Specificatiozin. of Letters Patent.- Application filed May 8. i905.

When the units figure has been written, as above described, the universal frame referred to would be released by depressing-a trainof levers comprising abar transversely across the frameof the carriage and which bar engages with a hook forming movable portion and releasesthe-intermediate lever i'rom engagement with the leader I parts-an outer removable member and an g the lower end of the removable portion ofthe] 81 1, 157 granted to me on the th day ofv intermediate lever and depresses such reefinger-carriage is necessarilygcarried bythe intermediate lever, to whats is attached, to the right. 1 This moves the fin 'er on the car riage and releases therod'and ooksthereon" above referredto from the universal frame, which rests againstthe type-writer key-levers. Ordinarily and with an attentive and care ful operator of the machine it would be noticed whether or not the number recorded had been added in at the right end of'the line after the units been written but the operator may not be attentive and may forget to depress the bar of the adding mechanism, (which, through the,

train of levers above referred to, causes the disenga einent of the intermediate lever and the, leader of "the type-Writer carriage,) and he may'move; the type-writer carriage. to a new line and commenceto-fwrite thereon without adding into the sum-total the -nu1nber which has just been recorded.

The Joperation just described serves to hold the universal frame rigid and moves the type-writer carriage to its new position, this permits the finger-carriage above referred to to return to its initial osition,

Asa consequence the operator cannot return 'the carriage of the typewriter to' its-initial position to record another-number thereon until the hook has been disengaged from the detent and the intermediate lever released. At this time it is necessary in order that the number just re-- corded'on the type-Writer and at the same time registered on the numeral-Wheels of the adding-machine be added or included in the total,:and, as hereinbetore stated, this is accomplished'by depressing the actuating-bar T00 of theadding mechanism. This action raises the inner end of the levers 110, which by means ofthe engagement of the rod 111 ill-the yoke 113 operates the levers 112, car rying the bar 114 downward, andby reason of the engagement of the said bar 11.4 in the hook 98 of'the movable member 93 of the intermediate lever 90 and pulls down the said movablemember, thus pulling the detent 904 downward out of engagement with-the beak i of the hook 900 and leavingthe intermediate lever 90 free to he returned to'its initial posh tion by means of the spring 988.- This same depression of the-*actuating-har,1-00 oithe -addingmaohine, as before statedherein and,

advantages attendingthe use of the present invention will be obvious. When the actuating-bar of, the adding mechanism has been" depressed ,the operation is complete. The number just recorded by the type-Writer keys hasbeen added in the total on the numeral wheels ofthe adding-machine, and all is ready'to recordmnother number or topro coed with any other operation with the typewriter. On the other hand, it the actuating Writer key-levers. 425 to, he again operated, and such depression'of the actuating-bar being neoessarto the operation of the totaliz 39 ia'ddition ot the hookmechanism, subject of:
